Judd is Back on the charts but not with music Naomi Judd is Back on the Road and on the Best seller list. Almost two years to the Day after chronic Active hepatitis a potentially life threatening disease forced her to say goodbye to country music the redheaded Singer enters Book charts with her autobiography love can build a Bridge. Its the promotion of that Book a an account of the Kentucky natives struggles before and after pop country stardom with daughter Wynonna in the judds duo a that has led her Back to Public appearances. Q what do you miss most about the shows a what i like about entertaining is communication. I was never into the celebrity thing. In the Book i completely debunk that. We done to have a Royal family in America so we make celebrities our own aristocracy. Its a very seductive lifestyle. You Are literally always in the spotlight. People care about what you have for breakfast the sense of self importance is so out of proportion. 1 think it is so heinous that so Many entertainers behave the Way they do. I was Lucky. I was 37 years old before this Ever happened to me and i like to think i already had my priorities in order. Q can you imagine Ever getting Back on stage a i want do but can to imagine it. To this Point Wynonna and i have never talked about singing to Quot Gether again. In a also enormously proud of what she has done the last two years and 1 certainly would t mess with that. Q 7n the Book you say part of your Success was based on  your fans Felt a need for the family spiritual values you espoused. What do you mean a the family is the most important thing. Its what gives us our sense of values and attachments. It does no to matter who is president or How Many prisons. We build until people Start realizing the importance of the family it is going to get worse. Q but weren a you a single Mother most of your life a yes we Are a total Paradox. We talk about family yet Wynonna and i lived on the Road. We had to have Ashley and my mom come out on the Road or we  get to see them. We spent far More Lime sleeping on our bunks on the bus than our own Beds. Our Kitchen table which to me is the heart of the Home was the Coffee shop. Of any Holiday inn or truck Stop. We talk about marriage and Fidelity but i raised the kids by myself. Robert Hilburn los Angeles time reviews perfect husbands amp other fairy tales t demystifying Marr Aget men and to Mance by Regina Barreca Harmony. Barreca a author of they used to Call me Snow White but i drifted women a strategic use of humor a has once More brought her Snappy and Well researched approach to a topic that Hasni to been examined nearly enough. Namely if relationships have changed so drastically in the last 30 years Why does no to someone Tell us and Why do we still act on tired old perceptions that Aren t a Tike my idea of a dating life a grounded in reality Susan Campbell the Hartford courant the big score by Michael Kilian St. Martins. Anyone who has written a novel will understand this statement it is Nice when a novel is Well plotted but it is nicer when one of the characters grabs the plot and takes it somewhere new. This experience which can be almost As exhilarating for the Reader As for me author clearly happened to Kilian while he was writing the big score a Story of Art fraud and murder. Howard Dicus up a ,.a Naomi Judd belts one out in �?T91 Farewell concert. Thunder Point by Jack Higgins Putnam. Higgins in Thunder Point uses a variant of the Tim bomb approach he takes a similar nazi plot whose details would be political dynamite even today and buries it inside a a boat that Sank in the Caribbean As  was ending. Some Good Guys vie for its recovery with a drug mobster who has his own plans for the information. Howard Dicus Honey by Elizabeth Tallent Alfred a. Knopf. The geometry of divorce How relations Between sex husbands and sex wives endure and shift Over time How their emotions Ricochet off their children How their resentments and yearnings affect the Lon term configuration of their extended families. This is the subject Tallent has examined again and again in her stories and a novel. Her latest collection Honey is no exception. Indeed Many of the talks in this volume take up where stories in tier last collection time with children left off continuing the sagas of characters we be already met. Mich1ko Kakutani new York times Jefferson a novel by Max Byrd Bantam books. Thomas Jefferson author of the declaration of Independence and third president of the United states presents the historical novelist with several problems. To begin with the historical record concerning Jefferson is enormous As the bulk of Jefferson a own eloquent writings and Dumas Malone a minutely detailed six volume biography attests. Jefferson a life does not provide a lot of room for novelistic improvisation. Byrd a scholar specializing in 18th-Century literature and the author of five suspense novels has focused on another contradiction in Jefferson s life a his inability to reconcile the promptings of his head and his heart a and has used this contradiction As a springboard for a wonderfully vivid novel that brings the Sage of Monticello or a version of him anyway to life m1chiko Kakutani dreaming Back by m e. Hirsh St. Martins. Its rare to find any novel let alone a thriller that in addition to a compelling plot has three dimensional characters and Subtle themes you actually have to think about. Dreaming Back is that kind of Book. A Erika Taylor los Angeles times Hollywood on the Couch by Stephen Farber and Marc Green William Morrow.
